2017 Reading: The Night Manager

#9 An espionage thriller


Yeah, I chose to read this because Tom Hiddleston stars in the mini-series. What of it? I waited until I read it to watch the show and THAT was torture, trust me.

Okay, so the book was VERY slow going and there were parts that, I am ashamed to admit, I just skipped over because they were boring and had no bearing on the story whatsoever. There was all of this politics that made no sense (to me anyway) and that just took me away from the story of Jonathan. I wanted this to be exciting and adventurous, but much like with the James Bond stories, I was very disappointed.

I really hope they spruce things up in the mini-series because this book would no translate well otherwise.
